For me it's a simple sport and a simple way to live these seven or eight years of maximum sport.
Della Bea Robinson: [talking about Ray's drug problem] You have got to stop this now because there is something you love more then me... Ray Charles: No, don't say that, Bea... Della Bea Robinson: ...there is something you love more then me, the chil...
Max Cherry: I'll bet, besides maybe an afro, you look exactly how you did at 29. Jackie Brown: Well, my ass ain't the same. Max Cherry: Bigger? Jackie Brown: Yeah. Max Cherry: Ain't nothin' wrong with that!
Aretha Robinson: If you want to do something to make your mama proud, promise me. Promise me you won't let nobody turn you into no cripple, you won't become no charity case, and you'll stand on your own two feet. Young Ray Robinson: I promise. Aretha...
How many of us have conflicts with someone else- and how many of us pray for that person? We have individuals with whom we are competitive, or whom we dislike or have a quarrel with; but very few of us have true enemies in the martial sense. And yet ...
Ordell Robbie: Is that what I think it is? Jackie Brown: What do you think it is? Ordell Robbie: I think it's a gun pressed up against my dick. Jackie Brown: Well, you thought right. Now take your hands off from around my throat, nigga.
[Offering Mrs. Robinson a coat hanger] Benjamin: Wood? Mrs. Robinson: What? Benjamin: Wood or wire? They have both.
Jackie Brown: Now sooner or later, they're gonna get around to offering me a plea deal, and you know that. That's why you came here to kill me. Ordell Robbie: I ain't come here to kill you... Jackie Brown: No, no, it's OK, it's OK, now. I forgive you...
Jackie Brown: ...the money won't convict him, guns will. Max Cherry: You're rationalizing. Jackie Brown: Well that's what you do to go through with the shit you start, you rationalize. I can do it, Max, I know I can. I just can't do it without you.
Jackie Brown: Shut your raggedy-ass up, and sit the fuck down!
So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport its the longterm. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.
Col. Robinson: Tell Major Barton that the attack must proceed. Frank Dunne: Sir, I don't think you've got the picture. They are being cut down before they can get five yards. [hits the phone] Col. Robinson: Bloody line! I don't care! Our marker flags...
Ray Charles: I hear like you see. Like that hummingbird outside the window, for instance. Della Bea Robinson: [astonished] I can't hear her. Ray Charles: You have to listen. Della Bea Robinson: [closes her eyes, hears the hummingbird] Yes! Ray Charle...
You know, it's always good to have seen a track before, just to kind of know where the little bumps are here and there, and just the general feel for the size.
The day of parochialism in sports is over. The world is too small for what people like to call 'the good old days.' Fans want the best, wherever they come from.
Jackie Kennedy was the most appropriately dressed first lady we've ever had. You can see how lasting Jackie's style is.
I love 'Enter the Dragon,' and I love Japanese movies. I love Jackie Chan movies; they are my heroes.
Dwayne T. Robinson: I've got a hundred people down here, and they're covered with glass. John McClane: Glass? Who gives a shit about glass? Who the fuck is this? Dwayne T. Robinson: This is Deputy Chief of Police, Dwayne T. Robinson, and I am in char...
I think you can be happy and still be competitive. A good lesson for everybody is to think a bit before you speak and represent who you really are instead of the brash emotional you.
Jackie Brown: Aw, the milk went bad while I was in jail. Max Cherry: Black's fine.
Jackie Brown: What's the matter, haven't ever borrowed someone's car before? Max Cherry: Not after they're dead.
